-1 -1 2 -2 -3 -3 -3 -3’’ -2 -2
I’m a rol-lin’ stone, all a-lone and lost
-1 -1 2 -2 -4 5 -4 -3 -4 -4
For a life of sin I have paid the cost
-4 -4 5 6 -6 6 -66 5 -4
When I pass by, all the peop-le say
-1 -1 2 -2 -3 -2 -3 -3 -3’’ -2
Just a-noth-er guy on the lost high-way
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine
And a woman’s lies make a life like mine
The day we met, Lord, I went astray
I started rolling down that lost high-way
I was just a lad, nearly twenty two
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you
Now I’m lost, too late to pray
Lord, I paid the cost on the lost high-way
-1 2 -2 -3 -3 -3 -3’’ -2
Now boys don’t start you’re ramb-lin’ round
-1 -1 2 -2 -4 5 -4 -3 -4 -4
Down this road of sin oh, you’re sor-row bound
-4 5 6 6 -6 6 -66 5 -4
Take my ad-vice oh, you’ll curse the day
-1 -1 -1 2 -2 -3 -2 -3 2 -2
Ya start-ed rol-lin’ down… that lost high-way
You can play "all a-lone and lost" as -1 -1 2 -2 -2 and
"lost high-way" as -3 3 -2 to take the bends out of it.
One of my favorites.
